Chapter 140: The Feast of Prosperity
Gui Zhao comes to the blue paddle, strikes the empty light and goes back to the stream of light.
Miaomiao is in my arms, looking forward to the beauty of the sky.
When Lorraine Hill and Xiao Yubing, the county masters, were boating in the cloud water, the elites who participated in the tail burning banquet also gradually entered the seats.
First, the congratulatory message was recited under the leadership of the current official Chungguan, and then the chief officials of the four-season officials came out and said a few words in turn. Then everyone sat down and took a break to wait for the arrival of the emperor.
At this time, some bachelor swordsmen also leaned on the railing to look into the distance, overlooking the thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, the beautiful scenery, and the lights of thousands of homes, expressing their feelings and aspirations.
As the eyes of these elites swam, the boat in the sea of clouds and water in the distance was also vaguely seen.
"That is.....?"
"Could it be the Princess Linbing." Some of them recognized Xiao Yubing.
"But who is the woman beside her, Miao Miao is like a flying fairy outside the sky."
When some people saw the silver-haired figure, they immediately sparked some discussions, but at this time they were far apart and a little blurry, so they weren't particularly surprised.
At the table in the center, Su Denglou, dressed in white, looked at the pair of figures from a distance, and then looked back.
"The appearance of this woman is truly unparalleled in the world."
"Giggle, Senior Brother Denglou is saying that I'm not as good as the other party." A young girl dressed in light pink and white clothes sat in the room, covering her mouth and chuckling. Judging from her appearance, she seemed to be only about 18 years old. It was Feng Huasheng. Mao's age.
"If it wasn't for my bad luck during the lottery, and I met Sister Spider Yan, you wouldn't be the one sitting at the top now." The woman smiled sweetly, her voice soft and sweet, and every frown and smile made people move.
"Why don't sister Miaoxin compete with brother Denglou again before the emperor arrives, and make a reservation, hahaha." Gu Lie laughed heartily.
"Don't mess with the water, brother Gu Lie, I know you are worried because you lost the first game in my hands." Su Denglou shook his head. In fact, Gu Lie's strength is not bad, except for Su Denglou and Yi Miaoxin In addition, on the field, Huai Chang can also fight with him.
"But it's strange, I remember Gu Lie, you still have a junior sister." Su Denglou looked at Gu Lie again.
"Fairy Jinhua, you, and that Fairy Loran, who are also called the representative of this generation's Hang Yu, why don't you see that Junior Sister Lolan competing?"
"Well, my junior sister likes to be quiet and doesn't like to fight with others. She said that it is enough for the faction to have me to participate." Gu Lie put his hands on his legs and shook his head in response.
"It seems that this junior sister is also a wonderful person." Ling Shanjun, who was beside him, finally spoke up. Today, he was wearing a good moon-white bamboo embroidered robe, no longer the scorpion dress he used to wear.
"By the way, how are Brother Zhuo and the county master now? I've heard a lot of rumors recently, and each one is more bizarre than the other." Another person asked.
"This.... is actually everyone's misunderstanding. The county master and I are just ordinary friends." Zhuo Fengtang wore a silver-slock general's light armor today and looked quite handsome.
"Actually, if you think about it carefully, marrying that county owner as you is a match."
Zhuo Fengtang's father is a general guarding the border, and marriage with the royal family can indeed stabilize the trust of both parties, which is somewhat reasonable.
"In the eyes of outsiders, maybe my family background is not bad, but in this prosperous Luojing, it is not necessarily. There are so many wealthy families, and my status is only enough to be shortlisted." He shook his head and drank a small glass of fine wine.
Except for Xiao Yubing, who hadn't arrived, Xie Zhuyan and Huai Chang sat aside, enjoying the scenery and drinking without saying a word.
"Sister Spider Yan, come and try this." Yi Miaoxin picked up a small piece of the moon cake on the table and placed it in front of Xie Zhuyan.
Although it was Jie Zhuyan who defeated herself by elimination, Yi Miaoxin didn't seem to care, but was very enthusiastic and admired for this ordinary-looking woman.
"Thank you, Sister Miaoxin." Xie Zhanyan's voice was flat, she nodded briefly, and then took a small bite of the snack.
Yi Miaoxin's graceful figure leaned against the table and rested on her arm, watching Xie Zhanyan eat.
"Sister Spider Yan will be happy when she can laugh. I think it must be very good-looking."
"Thank you sister Miaoxin for your compliment. It's not really good-looking, it's very ordinary." Jie Ziyan's complexion is dark, as if he has been tanned outside all year round. for hard days.
Yi Miaoxin shook her head slightly, "No, it's beautiful, at least I like to watch it, but you didn't find it yourself."
"There are many kinds of beauty, and there is one beauty that is uplifting and hopeful."
Everyone in the venue talked in twos and threes, and exchanged knowledge with each other. Those who can attend the banquet tonight are the future pillars of the dynasty. Maybe in the future, when they need to help each other, it is not bad to know more friends.
On the sea of clouds and water, Roland Hill crouched on the side of the ship, the clear and transparent cloud water passed between her fingers, causing a little ripples, through this clear cloud water, she looked at the bustling city below. The busy streets are full of orange and yellow lights, dividing the huge city into square parts, and some pedestrians move through the streets like invisible grains of sand.
It was a long time before she lifted her body from the side of the boat.
"Look at it for a while, I've made you wait for a long time." Roland Hill gradually woke up from the night scene of the prosperous world.
"It doesn't matter, in fact, the scenery here is indeed rare in the world. Because of my special status, I often come to Yunshui to play, so I am not obsessed."
"Let's go back now, the banquet is about to start."
After that, Xiao Yubing and Roland Hill returned to Yuzhang Mountain with jade paddles.
When they re-dock, the two of them
Boarded the terrace again, and the guard who had been waiting for a long time stepped forward to help him tie the boat.
"Let's go this way, it will be closer." Xiao Yubing led Lorraine Hill up the mountain road.
The two walked beside the jade-carved fence, turned a few arches, and returned to the venue. It's just that compared to the emptiness at the beginning, there are already a lot of talented people attending the banquet here.
"You guys are back, take your seats now. In addition, Luo Lan and Yu Bing can sit at the main table together." Queen Zhaoyue waved to the two of them and instructed them.
Later, under the reading of the inner servant on the side, the two also entered the venue hand in hand.
"The Princess Linbing is here~The Golden Sparrow Witch is here~"
The loud voice suddenly broke the noisy conversation in the venue, and everyone turned around for a while, focusing their eyes on the two of them.
Linbing County Master in a blue and black palace dress is still moving, and his beauty and strength coexist, which makes many people admire him. And another girl who came with her also attracted a lot of attention.
This silver-haired and golden dress, graceful and dreamy girl was seen by everyone for the first time. When she appeared on the stage, countless people were shocked and amazed. It has to be said that Roland Hill, who was dressed up, fully exuded her own charm. For a time, she was like a magnet, so that those eyes could not be removed. The figure is firmly engraved in the memory.
Who she is, what is her name, I want to know everything about her.
I don't know how many people suddenly raised this idea in their hearts, and they shouted loudly in their hearts, making people impatient, but also exciting.
"Who is this Golden Sparrow Witch?"
After a long time, Su Denglou turned around and asked the person at the same table. He was also the first man at the table to restore clarity.
"Is this the witch of the dynasty of this generation? It seems that today's royal family has found a great helper." Yi Miaoxin's eyes were dark and deep.
"She is my junior sister, Fairy Loran from our Feather Sect." Gu Lie finally spoke at this time. In fact, he was also shocked and shocked for a while.
"Perhaps there is still a slight lack of strength now, but her peers in the faction are very optimistic about her, and she is also the representative of the faction in the future." The older generation of the Xuanyu faction is now gradually retiring, and power has also been handed over to the generation of Jinhua and Gu Lie. hands.
"Golden Sparrow Witch, how is this possible..." Zhuo Fengtang looked at this girl who seemed to have only Sequence 5 strength, her face full of disbelief.
As the highest title of witches in the dynasty, since the founding of the country, only eleven people have won such honors, and most of them are people with high qualifications and prestige, but this one looks so young and his strength is not enough to convince the public.
Different from the others present, Zhuo Fengtang is considered to be a child of the dynasty system. Although he did not grow up in Luojing, he is very familiar with the titles and institutional positions within the dynasty. Therefore, he is also more aware of how rare it is to ascend to such a high position. Even if the emperor wants to be sealed, other clans, ministers, and noble families will not easily agree to it.
This is equivalent to establishing a new hill in the court and adding a seat. Even if it does not give real power, it will bring many influences.
It is a pity that it is currently in the burning tail banquet, and many things cannot be inquired in time, so he has to keep it in his heart for the time being, and inquire carefully after preparation.
On the other side, under the gazes of everyone, Xiao Yubing brought Loren Hill to the round table made of amber and jade in the center, and sat down gently.
In this way, it seems that the rumor that this Golden Sparrow Witch is from the royal family has been confirmed.
Since the emperor has not yet arrived, there is still a small meeting before the banquet, the talents on the terrace below quickly communicated, and everyone inquired, and the identity Gu Lie just introduced spread quickly.
So in an instant, everyone knew the identity of this girl.
A young disciple from the Feather Sect, the savior of the calamity in the evening mountains, the blood of the royal family, the newly-appointed Golden Sparrow Priestess.
"Beautiful women are peerless and alluring, just like the bright moon shining on the long night."
Some people admire and admire with emotion, some people envy and envy, and some people are greedy and want to possess. Many eyes are constantly meeting on these two girls.
At this time, the sound of a collision of jade rings came from a distance, followed by one after another of calls.
"Congratulations to Emperor Xuan of Heaven and Law~"
The Emperor of the Plantagenet Dynasty has arrived.
Twelve guards dressed in golden-chain battle armor opened the way, behind them were two rows of female officials with octagonal palace lanterns, and next to them were close ministers holding scrolls and red pens, and finally the Jinmian Emperor who came slowly.
His face is calm and dignified, and just his eyes swept slowly, there is an indescribable sense of oppression.
"All the gentlemen are flat."
Under the gentle words, everyone's bent bodies slowly lifted up, but they still did not dare to look up. On the contrary, Xiao Yubing and Roland Hill at the table in the center looked at the king with their usual attitude.
Seeing Xiao Yubing's granddaughter looking at him, it's not surprising that the king has long been used to it, but the girl with silver hair and gold skirt next to her aroused his interest.
"You are Lorraine."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Lorraine raised her skirt and saluted again.
"Okay." He nodded slightly, then turned his eyes to everyone in the arena, looking at the geniuses from all over the world one by one.
"You are all talents of the dynasty. In the past, you studied and cultivated hard, but now you have won and entered the list. It is a blessing that your ambitions will be displayed."
"Today's banquet, the first is to pray for peace in the world, the second is to offer sacrifices to the world, the third is to congratulate you, the golden list is titled, and Chilou wins the sword."
"May all the lords not forget today's aspirations, take advantage of the courage to advance, and jointly create a prosperous world in this world!" The monarch picked up the golden cup of wine and said to the crowd.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Immediately, everyone present raised their glasses together, and then drank together.
"The banquet begins."
Afterwards, the servants at the side of the king read it together, and then saw the maids in white silk palace suits coming with plates and serving dishes to each table one by one.
The burning tail banquet was the most famous and sumptuous banquet in the dynasty. There were hundreds of types of dishes, and the materials used for making it included delicacies from mountains and seas, vegetarian meat dishes, and strived to be comprehensive.
Its meat includes fish, shrimp, crab, chicken, duck, goose, cow, sheep, deer, bear, rabbit, crane, and other vegetarian pasta dishes are even more numerous.
Not only the vegetables of the four seasons are available, but one hundred and thirty-four continents in the world will also produce a special ingredient for making.
Take the 24 solar terms chaos as an example, the 24 chaos in a dish have different flavors, and nearly 50 kinds of ingredients are used to make them.
Others such as: Jushengnu (honey-made naan), Brahman light high noodles (steamed noodles), Guifeihong (red meringue), Han Gongqi (boiled printed round noodles), Changsheng porridge (medical food), sweet Snow (candied noodles), single cage golden custard (steamed puff pastry), mando-like biscuits (oven scones), etc.
Tonghua Soft Beef Intestine (cooked with mutton oil), Bright Shrimp Roasted (grilled with live shrimp), Bai Long Yao (made with repeatedly beaten tenderloin), Sheepskin shredded (fried shredded mutton, cut into 1-foot lengths), Snow Baby ( Bean sprout paste frog), Xianren Ling (milk stewed chicken), Xiaotiansu (deer chicken stir-fried), chopsticks spring (roasted quail) Guomenxiang (deep-fried with all kinds of meat), etc.
In addition, there are also exquisite dishes that showcase the craftsmanship of cooking and knives. The slices of vegetables and fruits are used to form flower and grass pavilions, dragon and phoenix birds, dancing girls and flying fairy, to name a few.
In the open space between the table and feast, a fire was still lit, and different pieces of meat were cooked and roasted in a cauldron.
When it is baked or cooked, the servants on the side will serve it on a wooden plate and bring it to the table for everyone to enjoy.
Not long after the banquet started, dancers dressed in streamer feathers also descended from the sky, and in harmony with the surrounding music, these dancers danced in the sea of clouds, water and sea, blooming and gathering like lotus flowers, constantly rising and falling.
Beautiful scenery, feasts and festivals, there are no two in a moment.
After the tail-burning banquet on the top of Yuzhang Mountain, in the large and small courtyards of Luojingzhong, both wealthy and common people sat at the table with their families, and began to celebrate the festival of joy and reunion in this year.
Peaceful and prosperous times, singing and dancing are prosperous, which is the portrayal of today's Plantagenet Dynasty.
